Use TCP, UDP or RTP transport If no transport options are given, transports are tried in following order: local pipe, rtp, udp, tcp
EXAMPLES
Search for VDR (xineliboutput) server, connect to it and negotiate best available transport, use best available audio and video driver:
vdr-fbfe
Connect to 192.168.1.3 default port and negoate best available transport:
vdr-fbfe xvdr://192.168.1.3
Connect to 192.168.2.100, port 12550 and use TCP transport:
vdr-fbfe xvdr+tcp://192.168.2.100:12550
Automatically search for VDR server and use UDP transport:
vdr-fbfe xvdr+udp:
vdr-fbfe --udp
Use alsa:
vdr-fbfe --audio alsa
Use alsa (and specific card/sub-device):
vdr-fbfe --audio alsa:plughw:1,1
Framebuffer driver and device settings:
vdf-fbfe --video DirectFB
vdf-fbfe --video fb:/dev/fb/1
vdf-fbfe --video vidixfb
vdf-fbfe --video aadxr3
NOTE
If deinterlacing post plugin options are not given at command line, deinterlacing is controlled by VDR plugin configuration menu settings.
De-interlacing can also be forced on or off with command-line option "--post tvtime". Examples:
vdr-fbfe --post tvtime:method=Linear,cheap_mode=1,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1
vdr-fbfe --post tvtime:enable=0
